    Canoe rental $20, gliding across the clear water in the middle of a summer day day without a bead of sweat? PRICELESS
    Ginger L.

    A day full of fun and so inexpensive! If you visit on a weekday it's just $4 a vehicle to get in the park. (And it's less if you're a Maryland resident.) We got to rent canoes for $20 a piece. You can explore several beaches, go fishing, circle the islands, or simply relax in the center of the lake and soak up the rays. We had a blast walking some of the trails and watching kids make sandcastles on the shores. Not to mention there is plenty of room for cookouts, and large family gatherings. The playground is well kept, the restrooms are huge and fully stocked, and there are even showers. All of these facilities are incredibly well-cared for. You can camp for less than $40 a day. You can rent a yurt for &70! There is an amphitheatre! Need I go on?! There are lifeguards galore too so it's the perfect spot for families. Your kids can basically roam free like it's 1970. Which is basically what the entire county feels like...

    Spinach and Egg White Frittata on a bagel

    Rooms are a 3 star, phone is dirty and the room is average. Lakeside restaurant first night room service, I got the Salmon dinner it was fine nothing special, my husband got the Basil Parmesan Crusted Chicken, with pasta it looked like cafeteria food and it was not good. Total $115.00 for 2 people, no alcohol. Breakfast at Lakeside was okay, dropped another $55.00 for 2 omelets and coffee. So we went to the grocery store and got some stuff to fill in. Last morning here we purchased 2 Spinach and Egg White Frittatas on a bagel, see picture below and they are 9.00 each and not good.

    Awesome state park in Maryland! Spent the weekend at a campsite here. Dog friendly. Love the trail that surrounds the lake. Bathrooms are clean. Plenty of picnic tables for a family event.

    The best place to go in all of Allegany county! Lots of trails for people with different difficulty levels, camping, boating, and the beach area! Kayaks can be rented for $10 an hour to paddle in Lake Habbeb. The grounds are beautiful any time of the year. A must see!

    Beautiful State Park! We camp affordable prices, lake, beach, casinos, and hotel available. Information about wild animal around the park, they also have a small museum, bathrooms, and cafeteria. 1 camp site showers beyond expectativa, place to clean dishes, and spacious spot for camping. Don't Forget to bring you trash at the end of your camping day it is located it at the entrance. Let's keep our park nice and clean. 2 lake, museum, and gift shop nice and organize. Also they have a cafeteria around and parking available. 3 beach and boat rental it is a beutiful state park you are going to love it.

    nice clear water lake and sandy beach just off of the picnic and grilling day area. pedal boars to rent. the cafe and visitor center weren't open when cane but the kids loved the playground. bring some big spray for the gnats. a good spot to chill and have a picnic. we stoped in for lunch after riding the western Maryland railroad about 10 miles away. 0

    Handicapped access to the water
    Kelly K.

    I really like this park in the area that falls within the campground. Scenic views and there's a hike around the lake were much harder hikes that I didn't do. The campground was well-kept up and have the cleanest restrooms. The trails or maintained well. Staff was friendly and they provide a lot of information at the campground check in. They have an ADA handicapped access. I saw a way for a wheelchair to go down to the water and they have handicap accessible showers. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because of the noise of trucks and other vehicles driving on the road adjacent to the park. The 35 mph speed limit is not enforced and trucks are very noisy and can be heard in the park. I had a nice campsite however all night long I heard trucks and what was especially annoying was when the semi's hit their breaks. I think you can also here vehicles traveling on the freeway as it is very close to the park. Funny that there is a casino in a state park I never seen that before. I stopped in to look around but did not stay.

    Lake Habeeb from "Fir" camping loop

    What a fantastic park! Way to go Maryland! Campground is clean, organized, and pleasant. Over 250 campsites. Lake Habeeb is very pretty. Staff very helpful. Cooler temps & lower humidity. LOVED they had a separate beach for the campground, away from the day-use beach. Plenty of trails, wish I went on more than I did. Even the golf course there looks interesting & challenging (didn't golf though). My only thing is I wish the showers had longer-lasting hot water, but they were very clean. I'll definitely return.

    This place is so beautiful and peaceful. Went with a group of friends and had a cook out. They have grills for it. Benches. The lake is nice. We had canoes and went paddling out in the lake. We also swam in it. It was enjoyable.

    It was a great park, nice, clean and beautiful views. Decent amenities, clean restrooms (of course that can change given the amount of people who go there.) visited for one day, a ton of space we opted out for getting there around 2pm since in the morning or by the time we decided to go here we would of never found a decent spot to settle In. Around 2-3 the first wave of people who get there since 7am starts leaving so you'll be able to get a nice spot around the man made beach. We where their until around 7-8pm.. don't forget your HAMMOCK!! they do allow dogs at this park and they have their section with little dog baggies.

For years I've seen the signs, the same as everyone that traverses 68, about a scenic overlook, this time, it was finally time to see just how scenic is scenic. First off, super easy to find the overlook. Exit 64 off of 68, this applies to either direction, then it's just two right turns to the main park office. Plenty of offseason parking in winter, as you would expect, and there is good signage telling you where to go for the office, the overlook, outside seasonal restrooms and some of the nearby trails. From there it's maybe a fifty or sixty yard walk down a small sloped path to the wooden planked overlook. Kudos to the staff that even though it had just snowed the day prior, they had a small path cleared so that you could walk out on to the platform. Granted, the platform was also coated in thick ice, but that's another story. Excellent views of the forest landscape and of Fifteen Mile Creek. We didn't last long as even though it was sunny, it was still below freezing with a hell of a stiff breeze. On the way back up the trail we did stop briefly in the park office looking for a map as a souvenir/memento and while the door was open and there was a state vehicle parked outside (just our car and that one), nobody was there so we left as it felt...odd. The park itself is massive and hopefully in the future we can make the time to come back and explore more.

Especially since I live in the city being able to have silence is few and far between. GRSF is a gem, you have the bare necessities to have a great authentic camping experience. You can register for a camp site at the self service station. Sign up for a site, pay your money, get camping. Tip*- you must take your trash with you. You can dispose of it at the rangers station Each site has : bench Fire pit Cleared area for tents/hammocks We always stop off at Belle Grove Store- They carry all the essentials and food if you need some grub.

    I skipped the park and was here specifically for the bridge. Martin's Mill Covered Bridge is a…read morehistoric wooden covered bridge located at Antrim Township in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. It is a 205-foot-long (62 m), Town lattice truss bridge, constructed in 1849. It uses no arches or exterior supports and was considered strong enough to support a bridge up to 200 feet in length. It was less costly to build than traditional arch supported bridges. It crosses Conococheague Creek. In 1973 the bridge was rehabilitated after being carried downstream by flood waters during Hurricane Agnes. Steel bracing was added at a later date to stabilize the bridge. In spite of being altered over the years due to destruction and restoration it remains a good example of this type of covered bridge design and contains approximately two-thirds of its original timbers. The bridge is only open to pedestrian traffic and is located at the end of a curvy road down to the creek. There is a small area for parking nearby. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. [Review 15581 overall - 571 in Pennsylvania - 1085 of 2021.]

This new splash pad and playground serves as a reminder that damn Loudon County has some money. We got here at noon with our toddler and only planned to spend a couple of hours and ended up basically being here until they closed in the middle of summer at 8 PM. I think it's an amazing design to have three playground design for different ages right near the splash pad. Luckily it was like 5000° out so kids dried off the minute they left the waterpark to go to playgrounds. So being a wet mess really wasn't a concern. There are a few rules to the waterpark that includes no toys and no dogs and the standard diaper requirements for the incontinent , but otherwise it's pretty open and people were really really well behaved. The bathrooms are amazingly clean for a public bathrooms and offer wide enough stalls to change in. It's highly recommended because of temperatures and the fact that most of the place is concrete to wear water shoes. The only issue we had was that a baby kept putting wet banana peels like this was Mario kart in the splash pad and people kept tripping on them. Most of the water features are well functioning and a lot of fun. The playground themselves range from ages 5 to 12, and have a lot of hills with Astroturf, which is kind of fun to just roll down and they have slides built into them. There are a lot of climbing activities. The slides do get hot on a sunny day, but since the kids are already wet from the waterpark, they seem fine. And the park is very clean. We went on a weekday and it wasn't really that crowded, but I can see how weekends could be pretty full. They also have lots of tables for our families to sit down and enjoy some picnic items.

    My kids love it. It's clean and lots of parking space and well maintained. It's worth visiting.read more
